The Black Stars will begin their 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Uganda at the Tamale Sports Stadium.

Avram Grant side witnessed a massively disappointing turn out for their final AFCON qualifier against Rwanda this month and wants to avoid another no show when they host the Cranes of Uganda in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

The Kumasi Sports Stadium used to be the preferred home for the Stars but the relationship has gone bad following a disappointing World Cup campaign in Brazil where money was seen as the key word and not patriotism.

Two years ago the Black Stars took on Guinea in the final AFCON 2015 qualifiers and won impressively.

They will be looking for the support of the people of Tamale and also hoping that the team can begin the all important qualifiers with a bang in the Northern part of the country.
